Private Coaches

Private Lessons

We are pleased to offer private lessons with the following accredited coaches.  Private lessons are arranged individually with the coach of your choice.  Each coach has different areas of focus and expertise; select your coach based upon your personal goals and desires.

Some skaters prefer a single booster lesson to help pass levels of Learn to Skate classes, but most skaters will take at least one 30-minute lesson each week.   Competitive skaters will take multiple lessons per week to prepare for tests and competitions.

Private lessons are taught on our freestyle sessions.  Skaters pay the coach directly for the lessons. In addition, skaters pay the rink for the ice time.  Freestyle fees are $6 per 30 minute.  Reservations are required for freestyle sessions; check with your coach regarding how and when to register for freestyle sessions.

More information about freestyle sessions may be found on our Freestyle page. 

Sometimes skaters choose to switch coaches for a variety of reasons. Before changing coaches, communicate with your current coach so they can attempt to better meet your needs. Discuss your decision to change coaches with your current coach before approaching anyone else regarding lessons.  All outstanding fees to the current coach must be paid prior to changing coaches.  The new coach will not accept a skater until all fees are paid in full.
